Why glucose and fructose produce same shaped products with phenylhydrazine?

During the reaction of glucose and fructose with excess phenylhydrazine to form osazone, only the C-1andC-2 atoms of glucose and fructose participate in the reaction. The rest of the molecule remains intact. Hence, glucose and fructose produce the same osazone.
